Residents of Magna Terris Estate in Accra are up in arms against management of Magna Terris Estate for failing to honor their part of contractual agreement to provide them with title ownership and basic security and amenities after two years of purchasing their houses.

Title ownership is a document to authenticate that those living in the facility have rightfully acquired them.

Pouring out their frustrations, some of the occupants told journalists that after paying between $30,000 to $56,000, they were promised by managers of the company that their title ownerships would be given to them in no time.

But close to two years, their constant appeals to lay hands on the said document have fallen on death ears, as officials of the company remain tight-lipped on the matter.

“We need this title ownership documents to certify that we are indeed the true owners of this property (house), but these people (referring to the management of the company) are not ready to listen to us! We have paid huge sums of monies to this company, so we badly need this document,” one of the irate residents who spoke on condition of anonymity stated.

Aside from that, people living in surrounding areas such as Heaven Cottage Estate and Kings Ville Estates are complaining of perennial shortage of water and power supply, even though they were promised otherwise upon purchasing their houses.

Some of the residents also alleged that authorities of Magna Terris have prevented Zoomlion, a private waste management company, from emptying their rubbish-bins because the company (Zoomlion) decided to deal directly with them- a situation they described as “awful”.]

“We are getting swallowed up by rubbish all because management of Magna Terris has stop Zoomlion from coming for our rubbish. They want to deal with the company on our behalf, but we disagree”, Kojo Mireku a member of the Residents association retorted.

Against this backdrop, the aggrieved residents have called on the relevant authorities to immediately come to their aide or fight the repressive actions of the company on their own.

A tour of the estate on Sunday revealed a lack of security, water, street lights and the non-availability of drainage systems in the estate community. It came to bare during the tour that residents of the estate have been victims of reptile attacks and robberies because of the lack of proper security and over grown bushes.

Attempts by reporters to reach Rev. Paa Kwasi Bamfo to speak on the issues raised by the residents proved futile.

It is however important to mention that the company in its advertisement and brochure makes a commitment to provident the residents with all the amenities they are missing now and a host of other benefits.
